Embodiment Construction

[0030]As illustrated in FIG. 1, the present invention relates to individual sheets of absorbent fabric or cloth material, generally designated A. Sheets A may be connected together to form a strip which may be wound into a roll, generally designated B. Preferably, the multi-sheet strip is wound about a hollow core, generally designated C, to form the roll, as illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0031]Sheets A are fabricated of washable fabric or cloth material so as to be reusable, and thus are designed for multiple uses and applications. Sheets A are interconnected in a manner that permits them to be easily detached from each other for cleaning, drying or wiping. Roll B of interconnected sheets A can be used with a dispenser, such as illustrated in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, which retains the roll and permits the removal of sheets, one at a time, from the roll. Preferably, the dispenser includes a rack for the temporarily supporting a detached sheet for air drying between uses.

Abstract

A roll of interconnected detachable fabric or cloth sheets provides an environmentally friendly cost effective reusable alternative to disposable paper towels, and nonwoven wipes and mop pads. Each of the sheets includes a front surface and a rear surface. The front surface of one sheet is connected with the rear surface of an adjacent sheet to form the roll by connectors such as male and female hook and loop ribbon sections. The individual sheets can also be used as mop head covers. A dispenser for the sheets includes a spindle for rotatably retaining the roll and a rack for supporting a detached sheet for air drying between uses.
